Vogue in other countries seems to always get it right. Not to diss American fashion or creativity but there seems to be a deliberate lack of awareness in some of the editorial choices made by many publications that honestly leave us baffled. This is not even about the inclusion of more black models but about the  adequate representation of a country known for its diversity.  We understand the aesthetic choices of a Vanessa Beecroft art piece for example, but is fashion not for all? Fortunately the Snobette universe reads  more like a multi cultural  United Colors Benetton ad from the 80s, and we would not have it any other way. Enjoy Vogue Italia’s  “Black Allure,” styled by Edward Enninful, photographed by Emma Summerton in what  looks like New York City’s Hiro Ballroom.

We’ll be posting the images shortly, but in the meantime enjoy a look a look at the backstage film of Emma Summerton’s “Black Allure” editorial for Vogue Italia’s February 2011 issue. Styled by Edward Enninful, it features Ajak Deng, Arlenis Sosa Peña, Chanel Iman, Georgie Baddiel, Jourdan Dunn, Joan Smalls, Kinee Diouf, Lais Ribeiro, Melodie Monrose, Mia Aminata Niaria, Rose Cordero and Sessilee Lopez. Stunning!

Some  eye-popping images of Sasha Pivovarova for the May issue of Vogue Italy (via FashionGoneRogue) in an article entitled “Love is in the Hair.”  The hair is by stylist Sam McKnight and it’s shot by  Emma Summerton. It’s more evidence of one of our favorite new trends of hair and make-up that pops out of the page. And check out the manicure–a closer look on the next page.
